Method:

Toss the salad ingredients together. Then add the dressing gradually, tossing and tasting according to your preference.

Add croûtons just before serving.

To make your own whole grain fat-free croûtons: Cut a narrow whole grain baguette in half lengthwise and then across every ¼ inch. Bake on a cookie sheet, on a low temperature (275 degrees) until the croûtons are crispy and golden.
